BIOS ANNA VOLTA

BIOS Anna Volta

The World’s Fastest Deep Learning Training Accelerator

The revolutionary NVIDIA® Telsa® architecture is purpose-built to be the engine of computers that learn, see, and simulate our world—making it the perfect GPU backbone for the BIOS ANNA and ensuring it is a contender for the title of ‘world’s fastest deep learning appliance’.

One of the most interesting features of Pascal is the new NVLink interconnect system. When using a standard multi-GPU configuration with a PCI-E switch, the limited PCI-E bandwidth to the CPU memory is shared between GPU’s. The link will become even more saturated when peer-to-peer GPU traffic is factored in. NVLink addresses this problem by providing a highspeed 300Gb/s interconnect path wholly devoted to peer GPU-to-GPU connections. Combining this with RDMA via Infiniband or Omnipath provides the most powerful possible parallel computing environment.
